The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase
Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279
The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…
The NewAthena mission concept in the context of the next decade of X-ray astronomy
Mike Cruise, Matteo Guainazzi, James Aird +16
Large X-ray observatories such as Chandra and XMM-Newton have been delivering scientific breakthroughs in research fields as diverse as our Solar System, the astrophysics of stars,…
Mock catalogs for the extragalactic X-ray sky: simulating AGN surveys with Athena and with the AXIS probe
Stefano Marchesi, Roberto Gilli, Giorgio Lanzuisi +8
We present a series of new, publicly available mock catalogs of X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs), non-active galaxies, and clusters of galaxies. They are based on up-to…
Detection capabilities of the Athena X-IFU for the warm-hot intergalactic medium using gamma-ray burst X-ray afterglows
S. Walsh, S. McBreen, A. Martin-Carrillo +5
At low redshifts, the observed baryonic density falls far short of the total number of baryons predicted. Cosmological simulations suggest that these baryons reside in filamentary…
The enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission - eXTP
ShuangNan Zhang, Andrea Santangelo, Marco Feroci +146
In this paper we present the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission - eXTP. eXTP is a space science mission designed to study fundamental physics under extreme conditions of…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit
Didier Barret, Thien Lam Trong, Jan-Willem den Herder +100
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer of the ESA Athena X-ray observatory. Over a field of view of 5' equivalent diameter, it will deliver…
